For those of you who are unfamiliar with Fraquetball, it is a student-run sport exclusively at St. Paul Open, that happens during the winter season. The American Fraquetball Association (A.F.A. for short) is a non profit organization. The game is composed of 2 teams of 2 people, and played in the elevator hall on the 3rd floor during lunch. During it's five year run the sport has evolved and rules have been made to create a high level of competition.The A.F.A.s main goal is to provide a recreational activity to the students of Open School during their lunch period.

• Equipment: 4 ping pong paddles (1 for each person), 1 ping pong ball, lines (mid and goal lines).
  
  
• The object of the game is to get the ping pong ball over the opposing teams' line. Players must stay within their field, and cannot cross the dividing line.
  
  
• The first to seven points wins, but there must be a 2 point difference at the end of the game.
  
  
• The ball can also go anywhere, but there are rules in which fouls are conducted. Their is a level of respect and spirit that is expected of every player.
  
  
• Statistics are recoreded every game, and totalled up at the end of the 2 seasons played every year.
